Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

तद्दूषणान्यसंरम्भाः सर्वज्ञजिनशासने ।
शाक्या यानि वदन्त्येव तान्यशक्ता दिगम्बराः ॥ ३३५१ ॥

taddūṣaṇānyasaṃrambhāḥ sarvajñajinaśāsane |
śākyā yāni vadantyeva tānyaśaktā digambarāḥ || 3351 ||

Thus, those objections that the Buddhists, without anger, urge against the assertion of the omniscience of Jina,—the Jainas are not in a position to urge (against the Buddhist).—(3351)

 

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

It has been argued by the other party, under Text 3152, that—“The objections that the Buddhists forcibly urge against the arguments in support of the Omniscience of Jina, are also urged by the Jainas against the other party, etc. etc.”.

The answer to this is as follows:—[see verse 3351 above]

Without anger’—Free from anger. In fact the Buddhists proceed to put forward those arguments only through pity for you, not, through anger or arrogance, like yourselves.

This’—Because it has been shown that the Syādvāda and other teachings propounded by him are defective.—(3351)
